AAAAAA NEW NIGHT VALE EPISODE REALLY ATE WHEN THEY BROUGHT OUT WHAT IS CLEARLY THE DISTANT PRINCE AND JUST TO REVEAL HES (at least inhabiting the body of) A KID LIKE IM SORRY BUT HES JUST A LITTLE GUY!! HE CAN DO NO WRONG (hes prob here to start the apocalypse of the year but maybe they can fix him with therapy)

I need to hear your thoughts on this episode cuz it got me so so excited

Personally, I think it’d be fun if the child the personification of the Smiling God, Cal (which some people read Cal as being the Distant Prince so add that in or keep it separate from this post if you’d like) or Donovan (Charles and Kevin’s kid). But this was such an interesting take I did some reading and drew up some comparisons.

When we first meet The Boy, he is young and constantly moving around and pretending to be an airplane. Later, when Cecil is talking to him, much of what he is saying about existing and being who he is, he is experiencing for the very first time. Sort of like a god experiencing being human for the first time. (I did think about how, if it is some random kid, and he did come from the DOW from a portal Carlos and his team opened, he wouldn’t have slept or ate, or possibly spoken to other people before too, but could have remained in perfect health but that’s a side bar.)

His descriptors he gave to the therapist reminded me what Huntokar described as the mudwomb, where she and the other gods came from. (This also, feels similar to cecil being born from a tree, and my theory about cecil forgetting he is a god/angel.)

The words “to do harm” are interesting to take note of. As are the words “‘No’ said the boy, in a new voice, full of broken glass and thunder clouds. “I will not talk about her.”’

Because when we think about the Distant Prince, he is always threatening to do or actively doing harm. He and his court are also mistaken for thunderclouds and rain. (From If He Had Lived episode 92) . Lastly, I want to think about Tamika being the one to take him in, because that is the most compelling thing regarding your theory out of everything.

I will be referencing the live show The Haunting of Nightvale. Tamika, during it, expresses exhaustion for having to clean up the town and deal with its problems her entire life. She solved problems with violence. She liked the violence. Violence was the answer for a lot of problems, and only recently did she decide that it was no longer as such.

Thinking about a child having the role of committing acts of violence to protect herself and others. And now, the Distant Prince appears, a harbinger of death and human pain and suffering, as an innocent child looking to forget. To start fresh. Tamika would want to take him in so that they could maybe learn something from each other. But also, the reverse of this, maybe Tamika’s past of violence could be a spark to further pain and suffering at the hands of the Distant Prince without her realizing. Maybe he could inspire her to become violent again, if its something she wants of her own accord this time.

All of this also makes me think about gods appearing in night vale as people due to different circumstances. The Glow Cloud (junior) is a respected citizen. Huntokar is living in the body of Susan Willman. Night Vale is in more chaos than it has ever been. The glow Cloud (senior) is dead, people have all but forgotten Huntokar, and time is moving forward once more. Not to mention that it’s still recovering from Janet and her team. An apocalypse to restart the town, as it happened so many times before in Night Vale, makes sense! Everything is coming to a head. Huntokar and possibly The Distant Prince appearing as people feels….. interesting.

Anyways this was fun to cobble together and would love to hear your thoughts on it!! this was a really fun take! :o)

[kerink]

flipping thru the wtnv tag post 230 and basically everyone's posting about carlos' last name being oak and tying it back to cecil's whole tree thing

but can we focus instead on oak like old oak doors

has it always been carlos' fate to walk between the real world and night vale? between science as a tool and science as a means of control, between his past and his future, linked forever to a past he wants to literally and metaphorically shut the door on

will the DOW always be a siren song trying to lure him away from his family and the life he's trying to build. hypnotized by it for ten years, obsessed with it to the point of destruction in it devours, returning to it now that he has power and clarity of purpose

carlos forever carries secrets. secrets of who he was prior to night vale, what happened during his phantom ocean experience, what he experienced in the DOW. secrets he tries to keep cecil from knowing because he thinks it'll be best for him. keeping cecil from fully knowing, understanding, participating in his own life and future and world

much like how cecil is kept from the truth of his reality, how huntokar is desperately trying to reach out and communicate to him about what's happened, about how her destruction fractured reality and made the multiverse collapse in on itself, and how the old oak doors connect night vale to those different, fractured, endless timelines

Sexiest Podcast Character — Night Vale Bracket — Round Δ

Propaganda

Dr. Carlos "the Scientist" Dave Robles

I would have said Cecil Palmer but I love Cecil Palmer too much to submit anyone other than his husband, who he loved from the moment he saw him

"That new scientist, we now know he’s named Carlos, called a town meeting. He has a square jaw, and teeth like a military cemetery. His hair is perfect, and we all hate and despair and love that perfect hair in equal measure. Old Woman Josie brought corn muffins, which were decent but lacked salt. She said the angels had taken her salt for a Godly Mission and she hadn’t yet gotten around to buying more. Carlos told us that we are, by far, the most scientifically interesting community in the US, and he had come to study just what is going on around here. He grinned, and everything about him was perfect, and I fell in love instantly."

huntokar never stood a chance

Night Vale and the Power of Stories

So I’ve been losing my mind about this latest arc. Full hyperfixation. Studying for finals? Calling my parents? Enjoying other hobbies? Eating?? Who’s she, never heard of her. There is only the “#wtnv spoilers” tag.

Anyways, inspired primarily by this post, this post, and this post, I have been thinking about Night Vale as a place of stories.

Night Vale is a deeply weird place. It is a place where all the crazy conspiracies and contradictions and creepy crawlies can coexist (try saying that 5 times fast), and it is built on stories.

We know from “109: A Story About Huntokar” that Huntokar singlehandedly saved the town from nuclear destruction in 1983. This in and of itself is beautiful, tragic, terrifying and wonderful (I could write a whole essay on the lasting effects of the Cold War on the American psyche and how that’s impacted our media, but that’s not what this post is about). But what Huntokar says in describing this moment is fascinating: “ The people of Night Vale huddled, waiting for the end to their story.” The use of the word “story” here is so poignant and poetic. This was her town, a narrative she had lovingly followed since its inception, with an ever rotating cast of characters, finally seeming as though it would come to an end. And yet she managed to continue their story. The people of Night Vale, of every alternate universe Night Vale, are kept alive because Huntokar wanted to keep the narrative going. It is a town kept alive-- inverted and shattered and bizarre, but alive-- because someone saw the tale coming to an end and wasn’t satisfied with that. Night Vale is a place of stories.

And Cecil. Cecil Gershwin-Palmer is such a wonderful enigma. He’s a deeply troubled man, he’s the town’s beloved radio host, he is the voice of Night Vale. As the town’s only (?) regular source of news, he carries incredible weight in shaping the public’s perception of reality. It is his radio show that keeps the people informed through all of these earth-shattering events-- it is Cecil who, for as goofy and cringefail (thank you @bigcommunist for that phrase) as he can be, has been responsible for keeping his citizens safe. In “227: A Word With Dr. Jones,” Dr. Janet Lubelle notes that one of his traits is “town leadership.” When Cecil speaks, things happen. He rallies the people, against Strexcorp or the Beagle Puppy or Steve Carlsberg and his dry, dry scones. Hell, he says “weather” and everyone stops, or sometimes (Like in “204: Audition”) it literally saves his life. @lostboywriting raises a fascinating theory about Cecil having inadvertently brought the Faceless Old Woman into existence through his repression of his complicated relationship with his mother-- and while this contradicts with the backstory presented in "The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives Inside Your Home," who’s to say that both origins can’t be true, with how splintered and fractured Night Vale’s existence (and especially relation to time) is? Perhaps Cecil, as the Voice Of Night Vale, is capable of changing the world more than he knows.

Either way, this is why Dr. Lubelle’s Explaining of the town has so much of a tangible effect on it-- because she’s coming in and using something “empirical” to change the narrative. That is why she’s so threatening-- because how do you argue with the facts? How do you argue with science? She is using logic to insist that her reality is right, that these stories and poetics used to keep the town alive are meaningless. That it would be better for them to not exist than to exist outside her narrative. She said it herself-- she cannot imagine that anyone thinks differently to herself about anything, and she is all to happy to provide any who disagrees with an Explanation. No matter the cost.

In 227, Cecil remarks that “Science is not good or bad, as language is not good or bad, as religion is not good or bad, because humans are not inherently good or bad.” This sets up a fascinating play between science, language, and religion that I think is perfectly encapsulated by Dr. Lubelle, representing science, Cecil, representing language, and Huntokar, representing religion. Whether she knows it or not, Dr. Lubelle is directly undoing all of the hard work of Huntokar, and attempting to use Cecil as the most powerful tool at her disposal.

And this works in conjunction with my distinction of the What vs. the Why. We can take the incursion point of November 7th, 1983, and view it through both lenses. From Huntokar’s perspective, we get the Why: Night Vale was in danger, and it needed saving, so she saved it. But from Dr Lubelle’s perspective, we just get the What: Night Vale was the target of a nuclear missile. Nuclear missiles are unstoppable by any force known to science. This is a town that should have been empty for 40 years.

I posit a world in which Dr. Lubelle reduces Night Vale to what it “should be:” A town ruined by nuclear destruction. The empirical facts, the anchors that held Night Vale down to reality, the threads that Huntokar broke-- Dr. Lubelle is seeking to tie them back together. And with the Voice of Night Vale on her side, Explained and ready to share the Truth, of course she can make that happen. Perhaps Huntokar takes center stage again to show that science is not the end-all-be-all. Perhaps Carlos steps in to replace Dr. Lubelle as the Scientist in this equation, to provide a good alternative to her callous methods. 

Or I could be totally off-base with that prediction. I imagine the bodies being dug up in the sand wastes and the murals of flesh will play a major role in the finale. Maybe she’ll uncover the splintered realities of Night Vale and won’t know how to explain them away. Hell, people keep hyping up a Desert Bluffs return, what with the Sandstorm tapes and the talk of doubles-- Maybe Kevin and Lauren will be the “religion” in the triumvirate, and drive Dr. Lubelle mad with their unrelenting fervor. Who knows? I have my theories, but I’m just excited to see where this all goes.

.

Also from a meta perspective, this is 100% harkening back to all those early-days fan theories that “Night Vale is a normal town and Cecil is just off his rocker” (Thanks @maxgicalgirl for that one!). Welcome To Night Vale is a show that has never been about continuity and tight lore-- it’s about spinning a fun narrative, it’s about the poetry, the music, the aesthetics; it’s about everything that Dr. Lubelle HATES. From a meta perspective, Dr. Lubelle is every theorist who tries to ruin the magic of a story, who nitpicks it endlessly because it doesn’t adhere to how the “real world” functions. She doesn’t care about why story elements are included, she just needs what’s included to adhere to her worldview. And I can’t wait to see her get taken down, no matter how it happens.

Thanks again to @maxgicalgirl, @lostboywriting, @eclipse-song​, and everyone who’s been sharing their thoughts about the latest arc on tumblr. I would not be writing this without y’all!!

WTNV quick rundown - 95 - Zookeeper

Check my tags or this link for the other episodes etc that I've done!

Featuring the voice of Felicia Day as Joanna Rey.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a cursed talisman must be in want of a hex reversal. Welcome to Night Vale.

Cecil is visited by head zookeeper Joanna Rey who has brought in several animals for Cecil to see.

Joanna has brought in a chicken, which apparently somewhat resembles a raccoon. Cecil always assumed chickens were mythical because he'd never seen one. They have bright orange and yellow wings, dozens of spiny legs, antennae and are considered exotic animals (at least by Cecil).

She also brings brown tarantulas, which aren't as exciting to Cecil due to being 'common' but she says she has brought them because they are horribly undereducated as a species. The zoo has taught these ones to be sentient and to read and they are named Samantha, Jordy, Nash, Carmelo, Patrice, Garfield and Helen. Despite being able to read they are not able to communicate what they have learned.

Joanna also brings in piglets. Cecil names one Wobbles and another The Professor. There is also a steer (which has wings).

Joanna than transforms into a panther and consumes every animals she brought in except the tarantulas (who go and get jobs in human resources). She states that she is a shapeshifter and always takes the form of a big cat to eat because people are disturbed when she eats her meals in the form of a human.

Joanna has apparently also dated a dragon called Donna who had at least one gold and one green head and dumped her only after trying to ghost her for a good while.

Weather: "Coffee" by Sylvan Esso

Many citizens are complaining about all the five-headed dragons. Marjory Vallejo, manager of the Dollar Cinema says they take up a dozen seats each and obscure the view for others. Teddy Williams has cancelled league night because of the scratches in the lanes. Bob Sturm, vice president of the NV Auto Insurance Company says there has been an uptake in dragon related incidents and they will no longer be covering anyone who owns a car. Cecil suggests that everyone try their best to be friendly which involves pointing at the dragons and shouting "interloper!" and following them home asking invasive questions.

Old Woman Josie apparently has childern. One of which, her daughter Alondra, has returned to NV from ??? to take care of Josie due to Josie's aforementioned broken hip. Josie doesn't speak about her children very much likely because she is bitter they left her to live outside of the desert. She insists that she's fine because she lives with the angels but Alondra is keen to stay and take care of her mother. Cecil and Intern Kareem have a small disagreement about Cecil refusing to acknowledge the existence of angels and Cecil not believing how stubborn Kareem is about angels yet he wouldn't believe Cecil about Huntokar.

Josie also mentions that the StrexCorp Foundation supports not only the new old Opera House but her, several local arts groups, a library destruction fund and the charity 'Cars for Kids'.

According to Cecil, microphones are smarter than dolphins.

Many if not all roads are completely transparent today which is causing a lot of chaos.

Cecil states that his usual work outfit is a cummberbund and capri pants which apparently helps people understand that he is a journalist. However, he's dressed up a bit currently because it's Plastic Pancho Wednesday.

Stay tuned next, Night Vale, for the sound of scrubbing, followed by the sound of gagging, followed by the sound of liquid dribbling into a metal pan. And as always, good night, Night Vale. Good night.

Has anyone pointed out yet that "Gershwin" is a corruption of a Yiddish surname that means "son of a deer"? Interesting that A) it comes from Cecil's dad, apparently, and B) Abby seems to just use "Palmer".

idk anything about yiddish names but mommy huntokar real? no clickbait?

NEW EP. THOUGHTS?!?!?!?!?

firstly, let’s appreciate that EVERYONE HAS A PODCAST NOW APPARENTLY/pos

also I have a Theory:

Huntokar’s… spell? enchantment? general reality-altering? whatever kept Night Vale separate from the rest of the universe has started to wear off and has been for a while. Whether that’s intentional or not is anyone’s guess. I think that either she’s decided they’re ready to enter reality again since they’ve stopped denying things and time is (somewhat) working again, or the fact that they started accepting reality started the unraveling of whatever kept them away from the rest of the universe. Either way, Night Vale is beginning to re-enter our reality and possibly remain there for good.

What are your thoughts?

WTNV quick rundown - 91 - The 12:37

Co-written by James Moran.

Need a rundown for earlier episodes, live shows or books? Click here or visit the tag on my blog!

Do not bite the hand that feeds you. Grab it first, take the keys, set yourself free, THEN bite the hand and run. Welcome to Night Vale.

The 12:37 train from Red Mesa has arrived at the NV station. The station which hasn't existed in over a century and which had the little league baseball field built on top of it. So basically it's just sitting in the field. Sheriff Sam, a avid transpotter, is investigating.

People in deer masks start to gather around the train (as well as people wanting to take selfies in front of it) and hand out cockroaches with slogans like 'business in the front ; knife in the back' and '#notalltrains' printed on them.

When the train opens it's doors, nobody comes out, but the SSP force some of the previously fenced in onlookers to go inside. They do not come out. The people in deer masks, same as those who built the subway station before, make a V formation.

The SSP enter the train. All the onlookers enter the train. Gradually, everyone in NV starts to enter the train, including Cecil himself, through some kind of psychic urge. The people in deer masks are pounding the ground with their open palms.

Cecil says he could hear and feel the train moving but it didn't seem to actually go anywhere, more the world outside the train started to go back in time, becoming more wild. Sometimes he was seated next to his fellow citizens, sometimes he was there alone. A woman in a deer mask approaches him. She tells him in a vague way about the people who are moving crates containing miniture buildings. She says she is the destroyer. Cockroaches swarm all over her and then over Cecil, who tries to swat them away. When he does, he's suddenly alone in the baseball field. Nobody seems to know anything about the train and Teddy Williams won't answer any questions about the mini town under Lane 5 or it's buildings. Cecil has a cockroach on him which has 'Huntokar' printed on it's back.

Weather: "Windows" by Angel Olsen

There are hundreds of people gathered on Somerset, making a line which seems to have no end and doubles back on itself despite seemingly being straight. Nobody knows where it's going but citizen Wayne Ferry says it 'must be something cool' and is standing in line with his friend Shirelle. This is a part of the day which is still in existence when Cecil 'exits' the train.

The traffic segment is possibly about Diane Crayton or at least someone who works at her old office, as Catharine and Tina are both mentioned and these were Diane's co-workers.

The Lazer Tag Adventure Pit is being reopened at the Desert Flower BAAFC. Teddy says he just never thought to turn down the power on the lazers before and apologises for it. He also directly calls Cecil out for how he takes somebodies statements and turns them into long, rambling quotes that you almost forget are others statements until he says 'so-and-so says'. He also says he thinks Cecil is condescending and dislikes how Cecil puts on voices and mocks his venecular and punctuation.

Stay tuned next for the sound of a beating heart, a muffled sob, a nearby whisper while you are supposedly alone in the dark, and all of your other favorite jams of the 1980s and 90s. And as always, good night, Night Vale. Goodnight.

Proverb: Here is the church. Here is the steeple. Open it up and see all the people screaming about the giant that just tore the roof open.
